Project Team Morale Makeover

Does your workplace and/or project team suffer from morale issues?
You may need a morale makeover. This article suggests the following:
1) Become clear on what you can control - you can control your attitude and set an example, when and how you communicate, etc.
2) Love the ones your with - appreciation is the #1 motivator (remember my blog on making a big deal out of being 50% complete - find a reason, any reason, to say thanks and good job and please make sure you are sincere or don't bother)
3) Communicate - listen up! Try saying, "tell me more". Listen to ideas for improvement. You might be surprised.
4) Create meaning, purpose and passion. Einstein observed we are the happiest when we are doing something exciting and meaningful. Happy people = productive team members. Make sure people know why their hard work matters.
